At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal marbro harlequin for your home. Frequently made of
plaster,
brass and
metal, every marbro harlequin was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer marbro harlequin, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right marbro harlequin, those designed in
Hollywood Regency and
Mid-Century Modern styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made marbro harlequin over the years, but those crafted by
The Marbro Lamp Company and
Mabro Lamp Company are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
Prices for a marbro harlequin can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $900 and can go as high as $5,800, while the average can fetch as much as $1,985.
Antique table lamps became a category of their own once electricity moved light off the wall and onto furniture. The form split quickly: task-driven designs like the Anglepoise on one side, decorative ceramic and glass on the other.
Styles to Know
Base material shapes the light as much as the shade does: ceramic and glass diffuse a softer glow, while brass and metal read more directional. Layer the look with a mid-century modern floor lamp for ambient light, or set a pair on a mid-century modern nightstand for a bedroom.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Table Lamp
Buying individually rather than as a pair allows more flexibility when mixing eras across a room. For those shopping by name rather than by shape, the history of the Anglepoise lamp is worth a read. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.
